Chapter 96
There are no words on the sacrificial rite!

The sacrificial oration held by King Qi was a blank piece of paper with no words on it, so what should he read, how should he read it, and how should he tell the past emperors.King Qi's face gradually turned pale. Although the weather was cold, his heart was even colder, and cold sweat could not stop flowing from his forehead.Such an important sacrificial ceremony is not a joke. If he cannot read the sacrificial text, he will be considered unapproved by the previous emperors. If others know that there are no words on the sacrificial text, interested people may even think that this is the dissatisfaction of the previous emperors, King Qi. Using the power of ghosts and gods, the words on the sacrificial text were erased.No matter what the possibility is, once it is confirmed, he will never have the chance to aspire to the crown prince in his life.

The original pride is gone, King Qi just wants to read the sacrificial text at this moment, and just wants to pass this level.Just who framed him like this, King Qi's eyes gradually turned red, and the fingers holding the sacrificial oration gradually turned white.Prince?Or Father?He didn't know, obviously only he and his father knew about this matter, why there is no word on this sacrificial oration?Could it be that he was not recognized by the previous emperors because of his lack of virtue?
The originally silent altar became even more silent. Jiang Chengxiao has been kneeling on the ground for a while, and his legs have lost some feeling due to the cold. Coupled with what happened just now, he just wants to end this quickly. Sacrifice, go back to the mansion to sort out the whole thing carefully, and see if you can figure out what the emperor's plan is.

However, after waiting for a while, he couldn't hear King Qi recite the sacrificial oration. Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help but look up at the altar. There were not a few people who were as confused as him. Everyone wondered why King Qi didn't recite the sacrificial oration.Isn't this the happiest time for King Qi? It's a great honor and recognition to squeeze out the prince's deacon.

Then, everyone saw King Qi standing on the altar blankly, at a loss, holding the sacrificial oration.At this time, the emperor also noticed that something was wrong. Why didn't King Qi open his mouth to recite the sacrificial oration? Isn't this a waste of auspicious time?The emperor was standing three steps away from King Qi, and he urged in a low voice: "Quickly recite the sacrificial text."

King Qi wanted to cry without tears, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice was slightly distorted, "Father, there are no words in the sacrificial rites." At this moment, King Qi resembled his embarrassment when he failed in his homework and was inspected by the emperor when he was a child, but this is not true. It's not that the level is so simple, if there is a problem with the high priest, the emperor's authority among the people will be questioned!

"What did you say?" The emperor was taken aback, and then walked over to take the sacrificial oration from King Qi. It was indeed a blank piece of paper without a single word on it.What's going on here, how could there be no words.He remembered very clearly that he dictated the two sacrificial ordinances, Yu Shiji's wording, and he checked after writing them. The last one was intact. How could there be no words when it came to King Qi?

Could it be that King Qi was not recognized by previous emperors?Thinking about it this way, the emperor is not sure, as the son of heaven, he has never been inspired by ghosts and gods.How could King Qi be eviled by ghosts and gods?
Jiang Chengxiao saw all this in his eyes, and from his intuition, King Qi never recited the sacrificial oration, and the emperor took his sacrificial oration, the reason should be the sacrificial oration.Could it be said that this sacrificial oration wrote some outrageous articles?This is not right, the sacrificial texts are all written by the emperor himself, and inspected by the Ministry of Rites. If there is a problem, it should have been discovered long ago, and it will not wait until now.

Interesting, he almost didn't laugh when he lowered his head.This kind of identity of watching the drama from the perspective of the third person really made him enjoy it, just like when he intervened in Tang Ji's case that day, although he didn't know who the murderer was in the end, it still made him feel comfortable.

The scene was at a stalemate for a while, if King Qi didn't recite the sacrificial oration and spread the word, it would be regarded as his lack of virtue, and how would the subjects of the world treat him in the future.So, who did this?
After the sacrificial text was written, it was kept in the Ministry of Rites. The only ones who could handle it were the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the two servants. Could it be that they dropped the sacrificial text?The emperor's eyes turned and fell on Xiao Dan, Minister of Rites, Pei Ju, Minister of Rites, and Yu Shinan, another minister of Rites.But the question is, how could his share be fine? More importantly, he remembered that King Qi didn't seem to offend the three of them.Moreover, don't they know that if something happens to the sacrificial oration, the three of them will bear the blame?
No, no, they didn't even know about the temporary replacement of King Qi to recite the sacrificial oration.The emperor's face gradually became gloomy. This time he was really angry. Someone dared to play tricks on such an occasion. This is courting death!

"Your Majesty, it's time for King Qi to recite the sacrificial oration." Yu Shinan knelt behind the emperor after reading the sacrificial oration. After hearing no sound for a long time, he still couldn't help but remind the emperor.

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Yu Shinan, and said calmly: "Yu Aiqing, King Qi's throat feels a little uncomfortable today, I'm afraid he can't recite, let Aiqing do it for me."

Yu Shinan was suddenly full of doubts, what was going on.King Qi's throat is uncomfortable, so it's not his turn to come. As half of the host of this sacrifice, he is only responsible for speaking on behalf of the emperor, when will he speak instead of King Qi.Even if King Qi is unwell, there is still a prince.

"Aiqing doesn't want to?" The emperor's voice sounded faintly, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"I obey the order." Yu Shinan agreed straightforwardly, got up and took the sacrificial oration from the emperor's hand, when his eyes fell on the white paper, he was stunned, what does this mean?How could it be blank paper?

Yu Shinan turned his head to look at the emperor with difficulty, and at this time the emperor also gave him a look, and the two looked at each other.The emperor saw the bewilderment in Yu Shinan's eyes, and was speechless in horror.He was [-]% sure that Yu Shinan should not have known about this matter.

Yu Shinan swallowed, turned his head slowly under the eyes of the emperor, held up the sacrificial letter to cover his face, and then his voice slowly came out from behind the sacrificial letter: "Qi Wanghang dares to tell the previous emperors that he will come down today. Dading, the people are safe and peaceful, and the world is subject to submission."

Now all the officials were confused again, what did the emperor mean? Why didn't he let the king of Qi recite the sacrificial rites, and let Yu Shinan do the work for him? Could it be that the emperor temporarily regretted it?But everyone saw King Qi's dazed look at the beginning.

The prince glanced at Yu Shinan in surprise, then lowered his head, tucked his hands in his sleeves and slowly clenched them, and then let go.

I don't know if he had auditory hallucinations, Jiang Chengxiao always felt that Yu Shinan's voice was a bit stuttering, which was completely different from the generous statement when he read the emperor's sacrificial oration earlier, as if... seemed to be endorsing?
To be honest, Jiang Chengxiao was also shocked by the emperor's coquettish operation. He clearly asked King Qi to serve as a priest, but did not let him recite the sacrificial oration. Isn't this a joke? He repented and threw him down again.

The emperor regretted it?
Jiang Chengxiao was really in a mess this time, what was it all about, why was the emperor's actions so weird and willful.

"... I hereby tell the past emperors to protect the Jin Dynasty, the winter of the second year of Hongye." Yu Shinan thought of a sacrifice and recited it impromptu, covered in cold sweat.After reciting, Yu Shinan hurriedly presented the sacrificial text to King Qi with both hands. He no longer wants to see the sacrificial text now. Today's incident is so weird that it makes people feel cold all over.

King Qi also knew that something was wrong today, after a series of changes just now, King Qi took the sacrificial oration from Yu Shinan in a state of dismay.

However, at this moment, the wind and snow fell suddenly, and King Qi flew out of the sacrificial text in his hand in a daze.
